Elaine, looks like the info you've now found confirms that birth I posted.

This would be her marriage:

England & Wales, Marriage Index: 1916-2005
Name: Norah Hobbs
Spouse Surname: Morris
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1967
Registration district: Newcastle upon Tyne
Inferred County: Northumberland
Volume Number: 1b
Page Number: 184

Her parents married down south:

Surname First name(s) Spouse District Vol Page
Marriages Mar 1922
HOBBS Frederick C Pratt Watford 3a 1190
Pratt Hilda G F Hobbs Watford 3a 1190

Names are the other way round but given the marriage location this is a possible for Nora's mum:

England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index, 1837-1915
Name: Fanny Hilda G Pratt
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1899
Registration district: Watford
Inferred County: Hertfordshire
Volume: 3a
Page: 671

Would obviously need to be verified against marriage certificate.

thank you all.will now follow that info up

am now in possession of eleanor carr,s birth certificate which fits.shows mother as charlotte elizabeth carr nee hobbs and her father arthur carr.thank you

now have birth certificate for eleanor davison showing maiden name of carr.gro cannot find marriage certificate for me of eleanoe who married james davison in july 1947.can you suggest anything else i can try

Hello again Elaine - do you know for definite that Eleanor and James did marry? Where did you get July 1947 from? Is there a chance that they may have lived together and she took his name?

Or, could she have been married before?

EDIT:

This is the marriage, it's in the June quarter so they couldn't have married in July

Surname First name(s) Spouse District Vol Page
Marriages Jun 1947
Carr Eleanor Davison Nthmbld.S. 1b 845
Davison James Carr Nthmbld.S. 1b 845

The certificate should be able to be found quoting the correct quarter and references.
